Chapter 692: Bronze Statue, Deep Well (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
After several battles, the Divine Judgment Hall practically poured out their full strength.
After paying a huge price, they finally eliminated the culprit who caused the calamity, the Blood King, Qin Hai.
The glory of saving the cultivation world of the Eastern Region and the excitement of obtaining huge spoils of war made everyone happy.
More experts rushed over from the surrounding passageways. After knowing the situation, they heaved a sigh of relief.
They did not expect that the Blood King, who had tormented the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region, would actually die so easily in the end.
However, this was actually normal.
The Blood King’s strength was inferior to the three divine pillars.
Previously, because of the help of the many experts of Tragic Death City, the power of the Heaven-rank artifact of the City God’s Hall, and the dragon qi of the Son of Heaven that had been accumulated from tomb raiding for many years, the Blood King Palace could resist an entire temple and cause huge casualties to the Divine Judgment Hall in many battles.
However, because of the intervention of Jiang Li, the successor of the Human Emperor, it disrupted the Blood King’s plan several times and destroyed the Blood King Palace and the City God’s Hall.
He ruined the Blood King’s trump cards one by one.
In the end, the Blood King gambled everything on his own, allowing him to take the initiative to break through the Pure White Pagoda. In the end, he used the spies buried many years ago to enter the Epang Palace alone.
If not for Jiang Li taking out the Dragon Python King’s corpse and bringing the Divine Judgment Hall into the Epang Palace, it was very likely that the Divine Judgment Hall would suffer a crushing defeat in the end.
Fortunately, they still won in the end.
The fate of the Qin Dynasty’s Son of Heaven had ended. The Human Emperor’s successor could be considered to have avenged the ancestors of the human race.
After putting away the Human Emperor’s Battle Halberd, the three divine pillars politely let Jiang Li pick the loot first.
However, the truly good things on the Blood King, which were the sacrifices placed on the ground earlier, had already been taken by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li touched the Blood King’s body symbolically and found a blood-colored jade pendant of decent quality. He put it away.
He wanted the Blood Crown more. However, it was the spoils of war of the Sea Palace Lord, so it was not good to ask for it directly.
After another round of soul searching, there was nothing left of the Blood King’s soul.
On the other side, many other Earth Immortals were surrounding the small half of the dragon vein and watching excitedly as if they had seen a precious animal.
This was the only dragon vein in the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region. Wherever it was, it could become a paradise.
Before this, no one had seen such a Dragon Vein True Spirit, so they naturally had to broaden their horizons.
At first, the Dragon Vein Ancestor struggled.
However, with its current weak state, it was completely unable to resist. It could only close its eyes and lie on the ground without moving, allowing these unfamiliar cultivators to put layers of seals on its body.
The Dragon Vein Ancestor lay there quietly. He really hoped that these seals could be stronger!
“No wonder the entire Eastern Region was filled with natural disasters. So there’s a problem with this dragon vein.”
“We have to be careful in the future. We can’t let anything happen to it.”
“The Pure White Pagoda has been destroyed. After today, we can use this dragon vein as the foundation. After rebuilding it, it will definitely be stronger than before.”
They were already considering how to use the dragon vein next.
The Dragon Vein Ancestor’s body was a treasure. Be it directly absorbing or refining artifacts, they were both excellent choices.
However, everyone present and Jiang Li did not have that thought.
This was because this guy was too special and important.
If it died completely, would a new dragon vein be born in a short period of time?
The Eastern Region that they lived in would also suffer huge damage at the same time.
Although it was not to the extent of completely collapsing and sinking to the bottom of the sea, the ground would suffer heavy losses, the climate and environment would change drastically, the concentration of spiritual qi would decrease, natural disasters would be common, and other bad things would be inevitable.
At that time, the cultivation world of the Eastern Region of the Azure Cloud Continent would become a barren land that could not recover for hundreds or thousands of years.
If that was the case, they would become eternal sinners.
Not to mention the sins of the world, no one present was willing to see that scene.
After spending some time, many array masters, including the Fengdu City Lord, attacked together. They temporarily covered the dragon vein with an Earth-rank alms bowl and bound it on the spot.
The Son of Heaven’s Crown naturally landed in their hands.
“Fengdu City Lord, we’re prepared to let the Polar Mountain King ascend the throne and take out the national treasure.”
“Sir, please cast another spell to temporarily revive the king’s corpse.”
“However, the Son of Heaven can’t be left alive after this. You have a share of that national treasure. We will also compensate you for the loss of the Dragon Python King’s corpse.”
“Fellow Daoist Nine Nether, what do you think?”
After obtaining the crown, the three divine pillars brought the Polar Mountain King to find Jiang Li.
Just as the Blood King had said, the dead could not ascend the throne and become the Son of Heaven.
The power of life and death from before had already failed. They needed Jiang Li to execute the Nine Nether Dao Technique again in order to create a temporary Son of Heaven.
However, because the Divine Judgment Hall had already suffered enough, they really did not want to face another Blood King.
Therefore, letting the corpse of the Polar Mountain King ascend the throne was only to take out the national treasure. It had to be destroyed later.
It was also because the corpse of the Polar Mountain King was taken out by Jiang Li.
Although the crown did not fall into Jiang Li’s hands, he was the first to discover it.
